The Virtuoso Horn Hermann Baumann & Dale Clevenger, Horns
|
This is one of those CD's that you just have to hear to believe. Baumann plays all of the tracks except the Allegro non troppo from Michael Haydn's Concertino, which is played by Clevenger. Of special interest are the Danzi and Rosetti concerti, which are recorded far less frequently than the other pieces and the latter of which includes an amazing cadenza that surprises me every time. Total time - 71:38 |
